Can The Boss Beat Batman v Superman at the Box Office?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice managed to defend its box office crown last weekend by taking in $51.3 million, although it suffered a massive drop of 69.1% from its record-breaking debut of $166 million. That second-frame decrease was amongst the biggest ever for any superhero movie. And while it will surely suffer another big drop this weekend, it should still make enough to take down three newcomers, Universal's The Boss, STX Entertainment's Hardcore Henry and Relativity's Before I Wake. However, this may likely be the last weekend Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice remains on top.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice managed to surpass most expectations during its debut, taking in $166 million domestically and $424 million worldwide, the best global debut for any superhero movie in history. Still, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn't fare well with critics. The superhero movie currently has a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes but the audience score is still overwhelmingly positive, with 70% of the RT users favoring the movie. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has currently made $260.4 million domestically and $442.5 million internationally for a global tally of $682.9 million from a $250 million budget.

In the intense and heart pounding supernatural thriller Before I Wake, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first, they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep, but soon discover why: Cody's dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody's imagination, and in the next, the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody's nightmares.

Hardcore Henry centers on the title character, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN, and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is Jimmy, who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore Henry takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia, with a cast that includes Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovskiy, Haley Bennett and Tim Roth. Hardcore Henry is currently at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, but none of the other newcomers have RT scores just yet.

Looking forward to next weekend, three new movies are slated to debut in wide release, Disney's highly-anticipated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, Warner Bros.' comedy sequel Barbershop: The Next Cut and Lionsgate's Criminal. Also opening in limited release is A24's new thriller Green Room, The Weinstein Company's musical Sing Street, Screen Media's Rio, I Love You, Yash Raj's Fan and Screen Media's Colonia.
